He had been a renowned theatre personality and performed plays, along with his late wife Jennifer Kendal (sister of actress Felicity Kendal).

Shashi started his film journey as a child artist and, in his lifetime, appeared in over 150 films. He worked in four Hindi films as a child artiste from 1948 to 1954.

Kapoor acted in more than one hundred films, taking the lead role in 61. He was also hailed as first Indian actor to work extensively in Hollywood films and British films.

Shashi Kapoor also proved his mettle overseas, with his most noteworthy role being alongside Pierce Brosnan in "The Deceivers" (1988). It included a dozen of English films.

Bachchan and he became a team, acting in eight films together including the huge hit Kabhi Kabhie (1976). His famous pairing opposite Zeenat Aman was seen in movies like Deewaangee, Roti Kapda Aur Makan and Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
